One of the more restrictive states in the Union doubles down:
The proposal includes new registration requirements for existing magazines that carry 10 or more bullets, something of a disappointment for some family members of Newtown victims who wanted an outright ban on the possession of all high-capacity magazines and traveled to the state Capitol on Monday to ask lawmakers for it.
The package also creates what lawmakers said is the nation’s first statewide dangerous weapon offender registry, creates a new “ammunition eligibility certificate,” imposes immediate universal background checks for all firearms sales, and extends the state’s assault weapons ban to 100 new types of firearms and requires that a weapon have only one of several features in order to be banned.
The newly banned weapons could no longer be bought or sold in Connecticut, and those legally owned already would have to be registered with the state, just like the high-capacity magazines
I have no idea how one is supposed to register a magazine, they don’t have serial numbers or even production dates. Hell I have a few magazines that have no markings on them whatsoever. Also looks like if you own an AR-15 or many other semi-auto rifles you’re going to need to register it, and if you want to sell it, or you die, it’ll need to be sold in another state.
Hey, it’s proven not to work, so why not do it more?
